This week, Liz Ritchie, CEO of the Regional Australia Institute, joins Exchanges to make the case for why regional Australia is central to the nation’s future.
We explore the urgent need for strategic planning across housing, jobs, and infrastructure as Australia’s population grows, and unpack the pressures building in regional housing and rental markets. Liz explains why connectivity, livability, and productivity are critical to attracting and retaining people outside the major cities.
The conversation also tackles the need for regulatory reform, greater local decision-making power, and how regional communities must be at the centre of renewable energy development.
